Audit Trail

Log file folder - The folder where the audit trail log file resides.

Important note:

  1. Make sure that the Web server user have read/write access to the folder. You can right-click the folder and add read/write access for IUSR_<MachineName> on the Security tab.
  2. The path is relative to application root. Use slashes "/" as path delimiter, no leading slash. e.g. If the application root of your website is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo and you enter "uploads/" in this textbox, the folder for the log file will be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo\uploads.

Track login/logout activities - If security feature is enabled, login/logout activities will also be logged.

File Upload

Upload folder - The global folder where the uploaded files resides. If you do not enter a specific folder for a file upload field in the Edit Tag panel of the Field Setup page, all the uploaded files will be put in this folder.

Important note:

  1. Make sure that the Web server user have read/write access to the folder. You can right-click the folder in Windows Explorer and add read/write access for IUSR_<MachineName> on the Security tab.
  2. From ASPMaker 5+, the path is relative to application root. Use slashes "/" as path delimiter, no leading slash. e.g. If the application root of your website is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo and you enter "uploads/" in this textbox, the folder for the uploaded files will be C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo\uploads. If you are not sure which folder is application root, please read Creating Virtual Directories in IIS.

Max File Size - Maximum file upload size in bytes

Allowed file type - The allowed file extensions of the uploaded files. Separate the file extensions (without ".") by comma, e.g. gif,png,png)

Delete file on update/delete - Option to delete the uploaded file when the field value is replaced, removed or if the record is deleted.

 

List/View Page Options (Global)

The following list/view page options are global for all tables. If you want different settings for a particular table, you can use table-specific options available in the Table Setup page.

 

Records per page Number of records to be displayed on the list page of all tables. If blank or 0, default setting of 20 will be used.
Selectable page sizes Number of records to be selected by user. Comma separated values, e.g. 10,20,50,ALL.
Note: "ALL" (without quotes) is supported, other values must be integers.
Paging section style "NumericPages" or "NextPrev"
Sort type None, Single column or Multiple column. If Multiple column is selected, the generated list page supports multi-column sorting by Ctrl-clicking the table header.
Multiple column Show multiple records per row. Default is 0. This feature will only take effect if the value is > 0.
Paging section at top Show the paging section at top (also applies to View page)
Paging section at bottom Show the paging section at bottom (also applies to View page)
Enable paging section in View page Show paging section in View also
Multiple delete Show checkboxes in the list page for selecting multiple records to delete
Inline delete Delete records directly without showing delete confirm page
Links on left side Show the links on the left instead of right
Export

CSV/HTML/Excel/Word/XML - Records can export to CSV, HTML, Excel, Word or XML format. HTML format can be used as a printer friendly version.

XML Encoding - The XML encoding for export data in XML format. (XML document requires encoding so the data can be read by XML parser properly. If your table/field names use English or alphanumerical characters only, you can leave the encoding blank. Otherwise, you need to specify an encoding.)

Enable export in View page - allow export in View pages also

Known Internet Explorer issue:
For known MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types such as Microsoft Word ("application/ms-word"), the default behavior of some older versions of Internet Explorer is to open the document in the browser. Also, to allow user saving the file with a proper file extension (otherwise the file extension will be .asp), ASPMaker uses content-disposition header to override this behavior by default. For example:
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=fname.ext"
When Internet Explorer receives the header, it raises a File Download dialog box. However, if user clicks [Open], Internet Explorer may fail to open the file. Therefore, you may want to instruct user to save the file directly to the user's disk without opening it in the browser.

Notes:

  1. Binary data (BLOB fields) cannot be exported.
  2. Export to CSV/XML are not applicable to reports.
  3. Images cannot be exported to Word/Excel/CSV/XML.

 

Email Settings

ASPMaker supports many features that can send emails. If you use these features, you'll need to specify a SMTP server.

SMTP server

The host name or IP of the SMTP server.

By default the emails will be sent by Microsoft CDO using default SMTP server on the Web server, in such case you can specify "localhost". But sometimes the default SMTP server may be disabled, in such case you need to specify another SMTP server.

Note: If you are still using Windows NT4 Server, using other SMTP server is not supported by the CDONTS object, you'll need to choose another email component (if available), see below.

SMTP server port Port number of SMTP server. Default is 25.
SMTP server username

User name for SMTP server authentication. If your SMTP server does not require authentication, leave it blank.

SMTP server password

Password for SMTP server authentication. If your SMTP server does not require authentication, leave it blank.

Sender (Email address)

Email address of the sender of all emails

Recipient (Email address)

Email address of the recipient(s) for notification emails when a record is added/edited/deleted (if enabled). If there are multiple recipients, separate them by comma.

Note: The [Email Component] setting in v5 is removed. ASPMaker 6+ generated script will detect available email components on the server automatically. Supported email components are CDO (or CDONTS), w3JMail and ASPEmail. (CDO or CDONTS is a part of Windows server and is usually installed, w3JMail and ASPEmail are third-party components and are not part of ASPMaker. The generated script will only work if any one of the supported components is installed on the server. If email cannot be sent, check with your Web server administrator or hosting provider.)
